From the introduction: Welcome to Europe, circa 50 BC. Caesar is supreme in Rome, and Rome is supreme in the world. Her armies have trampled all resistance, vanquished all enemies, and stand tall and mighty bestride the continent. Nowhere is this more evident than in the provinces of Gallia. Ever since the last Great Chief of the Gauls threw his weapons (literally) at the feet of Caesar, greatly hurting the general in the process, there has been little resistance. All Gaul is conquered. Well, no.
